It would appear I have a problem, I installed everything, I go to view my games, I press down a few times, and bang it freezes, I fire up Task Manager, and I notice the memory usage increasing?? am I right in thinking it is a memory leak?
What can I do?

This is a known bug that was found a long time ago, but wasn't a priority, since James thought that most people wouldn't scroll for that long. I think that on most systems, the screenshots and record datas are being cached as the scroll continues, but there is an overflow eventually. I can reproduce this on all systems I've tried it on, but it takes considerably longer for the error on faster/newer machines. As long as you don't crash the program, the memory should be reclaimed properly without a leak.
WinVICE used to have a leak, and I wonder if it still does in the latest 2 versions. Start up and close WinVICE about 100 times and notice that your resources will be permanently lower!

I'm having a similar problem on entries that include extra artwork, like cover scans. A few scrolls down and it crashes with "generated an error" and closes. My extra artwork isn't huge (nothing over 600x400 PNG) but it happens so often that I'm about to give up making a database.
